My girlfriend has an N95 which I am ashamed to say, has working bluetooth and MMS.....oh and a good GPS. I have only stuck with an iPhone in the hopes that Steve & Co will give us what we want at some point this year.

I agree its just as easy (almost) to send an email with a pic as an MMS; however receiving is a little more difficult -- unfortunately, most people don't have an iPhone; may not have email on their phone and use MMS to send pictures to the other several hundred million mobile phone users in the world... and AT&T's solution (view my picture) is far (very far) from a decent solution. I much prefer using MMS (via Swirly MMS) until such time as at least 50 or so million of the other cell phone users stop using MMS...

I'm going to withdraw from this conversation before I start on the no-Ethernet macbook air thing. Final statement - The iPhone needs SwirlyMMS AND fully functional file transfer bluetooth.

i agree the bluetooth on the iphone is so weak you cant listen to music with a bluetooth device and like u said no file transfer...really shocked that apple would have let those things out along with all the other stuff they left out

On the subject of emailing, as has been said, the person you email it to will receive it as an mms message. The only difference I noticed was that when I sent a pic to my wife's phone (she uses verizon) it made a 2nd page with the "sent from my iphone" signature. As for receiving picture messages on the iphone its almost as easy. As I said, my wife's phone is on verizon and all she has to do to send me a picture message is enter my email address instead of a phone number in the sender line. I have also tried that using helio (lol) and it worked so I'm guessing it will work for at least some other carriers. It's not quite as instantaneous depending on your push settings I guess, but it's a work-around since, in my experience, whining about how the iphone should have mms but doesn't won't get me pictures to and from my phone any faster.

This way certainly works and has worked since day one.
Only drawback is that people have become so lazy, they don't wish to remember your email when they are sending the MMS.

As for the "Sent from my iPhone" message, go to Mail/Signature and remove that line from there.
She should receive only one MMS after this.

1) So tell me which carrier each of my 150 contacts have so I can send them an email/mms
2) I have all contacts' phone numbers, now you need to tell me the domain (and if it works) for O2 Germany, O2 UK, Orange France, Vodafone UK, Vodafone Germany, simyo, Base, e-plus, callmobile, t-mobile Germany, KPN, TIM, and numerous others that I don't know because I don't have the list of carriers for my contacts.
